Survive and Save Training rated Outstanding!
Following our recent monitoring visit from a British Swimming lead tutor, I am delighted to announce that both our training centre and monitoring of our course delivery has been graded OUTSTANDING.
Julie Gibson was the appointed main lead tutor conducting the visit. She commented on the following:
Tutor Monitoring
“This was a superb session demonstrating excellent practice. Thank you. Action plan – To continue delivering at this excellent standard”
Centre Monitoring
“An excellent service to their locality. They show excellent attention to detail and offer courses that give learners the opportunity to both progress and excel. There were many examples of excellent practice with few suggestions for development. Critical success factors for the future focus mainly on maintaining good practice. Coupled with the Lead Tutor Observation this Approved Centre offers an excellent service.”
